Psalms 19

1 Amazulu alandisa ngodumo lukaNkulunkulu, lomkhathi utshumayela umsebenzi wezandla zakhe.

2 Usuku kusuku luphumisela inkulumo, lobusuku kubusuku butshengisa ulwazi.

3 Kakukho nkulumo, kawakho lamazwi, lapho ilizwi lawo elingezwakali khona.

4 Intambo yawo iphumele emhlabeni wonke, lamazwi awo emkhawulweni womhlaba. Ulimisele ilanga ithente kuwo.

5 Elinjengomyeni ephuma ekamelweni lakhe, lithokoza njengeqhawe ligijima endleleni.

6 Ukuphuma kwalo kusukela emkhawulweni wamazulu, lokuzingeleza kwalo kuze kube semikhawulweni yawo; njalo kakukho okufihliweyo ekutshiseni kwalo.

7 Umlayo weNkosi uphelele, uphendula umphefumulo; ubufakazi beNkosi buqinisile, buhlakaniphisa ongelalwazi;

8 izimiso zeNkosi zilungile, zithokozisa inhliziyo; umthetho weNkosi uhlambulukile, ukhanyisa amehlo.

9 Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuhlanzekile, kumi kuze kube nininini; izahlulelo zeNkosi ziliqiniso, zilungile ngokupheleleyo.

10 Ziyaloyiseka kakhulu kulegolide, yebo kulegolide elicwengekileyo elinengi; njalo zimnandi kuloluju lolujuluka ohlangeni loluju.

11 Futhi inceku yakho iyelulekwa ngazo; ekuzigcineni kulomvuzo omkhulu.

12 Ngubani oqedisisa iziphosiso zakhe? Ngikhulula kwezisithekileyo.

13 Igcine inceku yakho lezonweni zokuzincoma; kazingabusi phezu kwami. Khona ngizakuba ngoqondileyo, ngibe msulwa esiphambekweni esikhulu.

14 Amazwi omlomo wami lezizindlo zenhliziyo yami kakwemukeleke phambi kwakho, Nkosi, dwala lami lomhlengi wami.
